Renal Diet

Hwalsh0304

Due to some kidney issues, my mom has recently been restricted to the renal diet. She is really struggling with it. Anyone out there familiar with the renal diet and have some recipe suggestions for snacks or meals? Thank you in advance!

My husband and daughter have PKD (poly-cystic kidney disease). There are a lot of kidney friendly foods--berries, garlic, onions, olive oil, just to name a few. There are several websites that specialize in renal recipes. Good luck!

The DaVita Website is an excellent website. I have Stage 3 Kidney Disease. Really am not on a restricted diet as of yet. Just gotta watch the protein and sodium intake.

I was never put on a renal diet as such before my transplant. I was put on low potassium which was quite hard to follow. The main thing is to limit salt intake.
